A vboot-utils rpm is need to install a kernel or uboot for the samsung chromebook.  Having an official vboot-utils in Fedora will be really helpful and allow fedora to roll its own chromebook kernels. I suspect that this will also be need for x86 based chrome books.

The vboot upstream code is in flux, so some versions of the git tree didn't build. We spent some time trying to track down the specific problem. Jon, did you narrow down which checkin in the git tree was causing the problems with the builds?

Jon, feel free to post work-in-progress and ask questions so any probems are resolved quickly. I would really like to get rid of the hacky vboot-utils that I am currently using.
